Doctor's answer:
For the common cold, taking cold medicine is sufficient, such as Xiao'er Ganmao Granules, Er Gan Qing Oral Liquid, and so on. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, it is necessary to take fever-reducing medication. If it is influenza, for children with high fever that does not subside, it is recommended to take oseltamivir for antiviral treatment. There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, follow gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
